***Day Three Draft Thread***

[HardHittin'Witten]

Mayock just had the line of the draft: "Hey, Rich, I'm very much a Beavers guy". It was silent for a minute, and when they were on camera, Eisen could only laugh. LOL.

That was hilarious.

JJT via ESPN:

"The Cowboys wanted to draft Paxton Lynch and keep him on the bench for a couple of seasons, which would've drawn praise. They draft LB Jaylon Smith, who will probably miss at least one season with a knee injury, and the pick draws considerable criticism. Interesting."

He's right.

I think noone hates the Smith pick. They simply believe that he could have been drafted later and they are right. If you were watching the War Room Cam you witnessed some funny stuff. Their guy got picked. They panicked and couldn't get the phones to work and then reached at pick 34. PIck 34 is a valuable commodity. They could have traded down several times accumulating picks and still drafted Smith.

Possible next pick for the Cowboys?

-QB
-Corner
-Safety
-G/C
-WR

At this point BPA

Do we know why he fell so far?

they said "2 down player" but hard to beleive

 

[LittleD]

Do we know why he fell so far?

Brugler said most teams thought he was too short and lacked football sense. There may be more
but, no one knows for absolute sure.

I think they may take Prescott if he's there at the end of the 4th.

 

[QT]

That was hilarious.

What was also funny was when they said the BUSH pick after the BEAVERS pick...

 

[JohnnyHopkins]

. That actually sounds a little mean spirited!

Todd Archer via ESPN:

"Jerry Jones said second-round pick Jaylon Smith was among the top five players on the Cowboys' draft board, which would mean they have selected two of their top five players with the team selecting Ezekiel Elliott at No. 4 overall."

This is true. Smith could surpass Lee as our best LB once he gets healthy. Given the fact that our team surgeon performed the surgery, the odds are strong that he returns 100%.

Only teams looking for NT would look to Billings, and as a NT, he plays too high.
Another guy who might become a poor man's Wilfork with good coaching. If not......

I didn't know University of Manitoba was abbreviated as UMan. That wins all day long!

Actually U of M. I am from Manitoba. Great pick by the Saints this kid in 2 years will be something else. They held his own Pro Day and he killed it, some 28 NFL scouts came to see him. Eagles were one of the teams that were really impressed and I thought they would get him. This kid will be better than Israel Indonije who played for Chicago. He was also from Manitoba.

A player who can play sitting and learning is not the same as a player who might never play in the NFL

 

[BigStar]

Who do we want w/the comp? Cash/Dillon are my picks.

Like one w/o the other!!!!

 

[TheDude]

That was hilarious.

Then the next line was "Bush first caught my at the east west game"

Commercial

 

[MrPeanutbutter]

Big Cat Williams is great

Cowboys would have never considered drafting him if they thought there was any chance at all he wouldn't play again. Buying into a media narrative that is actually two weeks old (many considered his knee issue less than Jack before the draft) is just uninformed.

I don't love the Jaylon pick, they could've done better but it's done. He will play for us, I am confident in that.

 

[Hardline]

I Would take Cardel Jones next.
